Lathrop Twp. - The children of Ellen (deceased) and Francis Lindsey are disputing the deed for a farm in this township. Did Ellen Lindsey have full title to the farm and does her surviving husband, Francis, have the right to occupy the premises? They contend that Francis Lindsey has no right to occupy the premises and proceedings were brought against him to dispossess him of the farm. A criminal suit was brought against him and he was convicted of assault and battery because of his attempts to hold the possession, claiming that his wife had the title to the farm and for that reason he had a right by courtesy to the use of it for life. The matter was argued three times before Judge Searle, who first found in favor of the children, and finally in favor of Mr. Lindsey, with the claim that the deed gave full title to his farm to Lindsey's wife and for that reason he had the right to remain in possession for that natural life. An appeal was upheld by the Superior Court. Now Francis Lindsey can remain in possession of his farm and his rebellious children must pay the cost. [Mr. Lindsey died in January of 1910.]
